Love Driving it, but not paying for it.

Beautiful handling and drive feel when cruising the curving roads of the Rocky Mountains. When they are all functioning, luxury options for cabin comfort are easy to get used to (ie-heated seats, sunroof, high quality sound, etc) and well placed for easy access.
Expensive maintenance and repair costs. Especially above 150k miles.

GREAT

I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAR. DRIVES GREAT. SEATS COMFORTABLY. HAS ALL THE EXTRAS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM THIS MANUFACTURER. I WOULD BUY ANOTHER ONE IF IT WERE IN MY PRICE RANGE. I GIVE IT AN A PLUS ALL AROUND.

Great car, minor issues with seats

Great car, really like it. Minor issues with the backs of the seats falling apart prematurely, but overall a great car and what you'd expect from an Audi. Breaks well and handles well. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Description: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2010-2011 Audi A6 Avant, A6 Sedan and S6 Sedan vehicles, ever registered in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, or "Zone B."
